Yesterday 7 of 8 favs priced <2.5 with 7mins to go shortened up to post (the one that didn't shorten drifted just 2 ticks)

Total number of ticks the other 7 favs shortened was 137 (avg 20 ticks per race)

Nice ride by Brain Hughes there for his 4th of the day there wasn't much support for it pre race though.

Is this anything to do with cross-matching ?

I've got a juicy free bet on it - the only problem is that it's not gonna win. :lol:

Lively markets today. I've just laid Abraj Dubai (14:45 Southwell) at 5.9 and backed it at 6.4. Both bets were matched within my 400ms refresh rate.

I don't automate, I've tried 200ms for manual trading but I just find the speed disorientating - maybe I just need to get used to it.

200ms for the ladder, as fast as possible for automation.


(The best strategy for those last couple of races has been to watch, there's been some very lumpy activity going on for a while there)

No thats all done manually but i've not been very active on them this last year or so, even then it was mainly just oil or gold

I know you asked dallas but personally i'd never use a bot on financials. Mainly becasue the amounts are simply too large to trust to home tech. You'd be insane to do it imo.
